I upgraded from a Galaxy Watch4 Classic and am generally happy with the product. Battery life has been excellent, and I like the slightly larger screen. The display is crisp, easy to read and the color depth is great. The band, however, is a major disappointment and the reason for the one star debit. The supplied band is too big and tucking the band end inside the band itself is difficult. The Watch4 band was much better.
Apart from a pretty short battery life, this is an overall great watch. It has a long list of health and tracking features and works great with other features I use, such as SmartThings controls, notifications, Modes, etc. It's snappy and looks very good.
i love the look and fit of the watch. has everything i need to track steps and overal health. the only con is the battery lasts less than 2 days! there are alot of apps that i dont use thatbi cant turn off.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the original Galaxy 5 watch and traded in for the Galaxy 8 watch I do like that this one's bigger with the square look and it has the Galaxy AI features although I never use the watch or wear it it keeps getting unpaired from my phone which makes it difficult to wear when you have to reset it every time you want to put it on your wrist other than that it's a great watch.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I upgraded from a watch 7 and let me tell you the new design on the watch 8 is great! I like the sleek design and it seems to be faster overall. Battery last about 3 days for me.
This is the third Samsung Smartwatch I've owned and is by far the best. It is lightweight, the band is super easy to change compared to my Classic Watch 4, and the screen is crisp and bright enough to read in the sunlight, even with sunglasses.
